Alex Smith was definitely not the most popular person ever. No one bullied him; but, no one liked him either. Then, everything turned upside down during one field trip.
I woke up on the bus with someone sitting next to me. "Are you the new kid?" I asked.
"Yes," he said.
"Oh, hi," I said.
"Sorry," he replied.
"For what?" I asked., "No one has sat with me in forever."
When we got to the dig, it was 11 a.m. so everything was a rush. When we were sifting, the chaperones didn't notice that I snatched a broken compass from a dirt pile. When I was walking home after school, Zander caught up to me and I showed him the compass. He asked, "How did you get that?" So, I told him and asked if he would like to come over to my house later and see if we could get it to work.
When Zander got to my house, we went up to my room. "Hey Zander, the tip of the compass needle used to be red and now it is blue," I said. In Zander's hurry to get over, he knocked the compass out of my hand. The part of the compass that would attach to a keychain hit the floor and we heard clicking noises. We picked the compass back up to investigate and noticed the key chain part spinning and slowly going inward. All of a sudden, in a blue flash of light we found ourselves in a hole, knee-deep in oyster shells.
Zander asks, "What happened?"
I answer, "I don't know, I'm at a loss for words."
Zander says, "I might know where we are. In pilgrim times, they would chuck oyster shells into a hole called an oyster mitten."
"Yeah, I think you are right. For once I'm glad we went on a field trip," I replied.
When we manage to scramble out of the hole, we see a village that seems to be made up of log cabins. We decide to walk away from the village because we aren't sure where we are and we don't know if the villagers are hostile.
Once we get into a forest and out of sight of the village, we see a man walking hurriedly toward the village. The man has an evil look in his eye, but doesn't appear to have any weapons. He is short and bulky with a long curly beard and a scar across his right eye.
We decide to follow him so we can see how the villagers act around new people. The villagers don't take notice of him. But then we hear the man talking, "The plan for mutiny against John Smith is almost ready."
"How much time left?" the villager asks.
"Three days at most," the man answers.
"Good, make sure that you will be the explorer, not John Smith," says the villager.
"We gotta stop him," says Zander, "Maybe that's why the compass brought us here."
"Yeah, probably, but first we have to find some food," I say, "That villager selling food isn't watching his food very well. Maybe if we walk by and snatch a piece of bread when he's not looking, we won't get caught."
After we get the food, we see the village and the man walking towards a ship. We follow. It appears the ship and its captain, John Smith, are hiring crew. The man and the villager get in line. Since we have decided to stop them from changing history, we get in line, too.
When it is our turn to tell the manager what skills we have, I tell the manager that I have good building skills and I am fast. Zander tells him that he is strong and fast. The manager thinks a while and says, "Well, we do need a helper for a carpenter." Then he turns to Zander, "We could use another crew member."
So, he let us on the ship. But on the ship, Captain John Smith says all the slots are full; nobody else can get on.
And then, Zander says, "Well, I guess we are leaving sooner than expected."
For three days, we work hard. Then, we hear word of a mutiny.
Zander and I have an idea of who is starting it because of what we heard at the village. But we need proof. Every night, we decide to try to overhear what they are saying. Eventually we hear, "Yes, this is good, the crew is thinking about it." We decide that tomorrow we will tell the captain. But that is a mistake.
The next day, the man, the villager, and a few crew men bang on the door of the captain's quarters. They have Zander; I didn't realize he was already awake. I see a rock, a piece of cut-off lashings, and a stick near me. I decide to lash the stick and rock together and use it as a club, but, I won't attack yet. I want to see what the crew is doing first.
They are conducting a mutiny, so I decide to sneak up on the guys holding Zander hostage and try to knock them out. But when I get near them, they notice me. They yell, "Hey, what are you doing?" I think fast, flinging the club at one and tripping the other. I notice the one I tripped also has lashings and a gag, so I bind his hands, untie the bindings on Zander's hands, and remove his gag. I notice both men have hammers. I give one to Zander and take one for myself.
And then "THUD." We look over to the captain's quarters and the door has been blown off its hinges. Zander and I notice that the dining area's door is open, so we walk inside. We almost get hit with a long pole, but manage to dodge it. We look over to our attacker, and at the end of the pole, is Captain John Smith. We say, "Oh, Captain. We're not trying to mutiny; we're trying to help you. We know who started this. He has a long scar across his eye and he is short and bulky with a curly beard. If we knock him out and dump him off the side of the boat, that may stop the mutiny".
Captain Smith says, "Yeah, I see him, but he is surrounded. We are going to have to fight our way through."
"But how?" asks Zander.
"There is a secret weapons storage near the Brig, I'll take you to it," says Captain Smith.
When we got to the Brig, we didn't see anything. "Where is it?" I ask.
He says, "Give me your hammer."
He pounds the side wall, and eventually the wall breaks. Inside are a few swords. We each grab one and Captain John Smith says, "We're not aiming to kill, only knock them out".
"We know," Zander and I say in unison.
When we reach the main deck, the mutineers aren't looking in the dining area. When we peek in the door, we see that the man isn't encircled in men anymore. In fact, we can probably grab him without being noticed. As we close in, the loose floorboards creak. I step one step too close and the floor board lets out a loud CREAK. Everybody turns on us.
Instead of trying to grab the man, we decide to tell them what would happen if the man was captain. We say, "Don't let him be captain. What you think will happen won't. He will work you to the bone. He will take you into very, very dangerous areas."
That seems to make people think, "Why would he give us more food; is this just a bribe?" Mutters run around in the group. Finally, one says, "Yeah, I think this is just a bribe!" Then some of the others agree. But, the villager and some of the mutineers form a circle around the man.
Zander, the Captain and I, along with a few crew members, pull out our weapons and ready for a fight. So do the mutineers.
We run at the mutineers. The mutineers' weapons consist mostly of metal poles and rocks tied to each other, but the mutineers are good with them. When the two sides connect, it is absolute pandemonium. A rock catches the end of my sword and the man tries to pull it out of my hand. I try a maneuver I saw in a video, to stomp on the rope and lift the sword up to cut the rope. Like a coward, he runs away from the battle. I then see why. All of the other mutineers are knocked out or disarmed.
We grab the man with the scar and throw him overboard because he was knocked out, or at least we thought so. We turn away, and out of the corner of my eye, I see a bright flash of red light. At that moment, I know he is not from this era, either. He is from the future. And then I remember. I still have the compass in my pocket. I take it out and notice that the compass point is back to red and the key chain is out.
I call Zander over and say, "Hey, I think we can go home now. Do you want to try?"
He says, "Yeah, let's do it." We take hold of the compass and push the key chain in, and with a flash of blue light we are back home.
The time didn't change at all, despite being in the past for several days. The compass sent us back to where we first were.
I say, "Well, now that we're home and we just saved John Smith, let's play Xbox."

LINCOLN, R.I. (PRWEB) December 10, 2015
The holiday season can be a dangerous time for consumers toting their new purchases through the mall parking lot. That's why Amica Insurance is sharing tips to help prevent problems during the holidays.
According to the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, a motor vehicle is stolen every 45 seconds in the U.S. Amica is sharing the following parking lot safety tips from Consumer Reports:
- Park in populated, well-lit areas. It may take some time to find the perfect spot, but it will be worth it in the long run.
- When exiting the car, close all windows and lock the vehicle. Make sure that all valuables inside the car – like the GPS – have been hidden properly.
- Be alert. Always check your front, sides and rear when walking to and from the car.
- Assume someone is watching you. Criminals look for shoppers who put purchases in their cars and return to shopping. Move the car between trips if possible.
- Walk quickly to the car when finished with shopping. Lock the doors immediately, and drive off without wasting time.

LocalGovCamp Birmingham 2011
I enjoyed the event and found it very useful. It was also a wonderful surprise to see my friends from the Home Office and National Police Improvement Agency coming along and entering into the world of the unconference.
I thought I'd use Catherine's blog to give a bit of feedback of my own which I hope will compliment Catherine's comments and will come across as supportive and perhaps constructively critical. This text was originally submitted as a comment but I thought I'd put it here too as a reference for me and anyone who cares to follow my blog.
I found it difficult to locate basic details about the camp both before and afterwards. I'm still trying to find blogs, audio, video etc. but this is the first site I found after quite a lot of searching. There is www.localgovcamp.com which seems to be the right place but doesn't mention Birmingham 2011 and was last updated in 2010.
On arrival, we were asked to make labels with our names and twitter names. I was with a few people who are not on twitter and although I offered to help signed them up on the day, I got the impression they felt a little bit sidelined and not part of the 'in-crowd'. Perhaps there could have been some 'pre-read' information about the use of Twitter at the unconference and the suggestion to consider signing up ahead of the day to get familiar with Twitter. Alternatively, a volunteer could have been on hand to help anyone to sign-up on the day and to help add apps to smaprtphones or tablets. Even if this wasn't possible, a large screen to display the hashtag could have helped everyone but especially those without Twitter.
Name labels were great but I found it quite tricky to read off the twitter names and fiddle around setting up the all important follow on my phone. All the people I followed were either on the way up on the train, on the way home on the train and during the conference by following the hashtag. I didn't get the chance to follow anyone by using their name badge. My suggestion to fix this is to get people to submit their twitter names on registration so that name labels can be created with a QR Code. Not only would this make it much easier to follow people, it gives everyone their own QR code to take away and the effectiveness of the use of the codes can be measured. Goo.gl quick links automatically include a QR Code and the metrics which Google provides could easily show if the practice is useful of not.
Power and connectivity always seems to be important at these events. I noticed a few 'seasoned' campers came equipped with their own 4-way extension leads but it would have been easy to acquire several of these, set them up in a suitable location with tables so that everyone could 'plug-in' easily.
Connectivity was available via WiFi but again, a bit of information ahead of the day and at reception could have had everyone hooked up immediately.
Introductions were great but could have been enhanced by providing that stuff ahead of the conference (especially photographs). Live introductions are really important but people could have been introduced by projecting their photo, name and Twitter name on the big screen. This would also ensure nobody is missed out. Afterwards, throughout the day, this information could rotate on another large screen and afterwards on a website. I'm great with faces but I can never remember names - I would find this resource especially useful.
The whiteboard grid showing the various topics proposed was good but could have been made even better if an electronic version was being projected with the topics typed in by volunteers as they were proposed. I prefer to take a photo of the board so I can refer back to it between sessions. If this photo was done once and then distributed, it would save the large crowd trying to look at the board at the same time.
Post-it notes are great but get someone who can write clearly to do the writing. I found it quite hard to interpret the sessions simply because I couldn't read the handwriting on the Post-it notes. Translation to a projected version would solve this one.
The idea of assigning numbers to the rooms for the benefit of tagging in Twitter was great but should have been agreed ahead of the day. The hashtag #localgovcamp was quite long and perhaps could have been #LGC or #LGCB (for Birmingham). The room numbers could have gone after these tags easily. To extend this excellent idea, these hashtags could have been printed up big and displayed on the walls of each room to remind everyone.
Lunchtime was a great opportunity to catch up, talk, debate and discuss. I found that the music didn't help this process and I had to move away to be able to continue my conversation. I seem to suffer these days from difficulty hearing conversation in crowded places and introducing more noise into the mix makes it worse. Perhaps if music is to be provided, it could be more as background rather than entertainment in its own right?
I recall that there was a request at the beginning of the day to leave answers to 2 questions throughout the day. I quickly forgot about this and a reminder at lunchtime and after the event would have been useful. Even better would have been a form on a website where these answers could have been entered at any time, even on the way home for those travelling by train.

Many good points.
The unconferences work (for free) because they are informal. The aim is to keep organisation to a minimum and give people space to solve their own problems and connect.
You've described some valid stuff - they key is how to fix it without adding extra burden to the organisers?
How was the day - did you go away inspired or concerned?
- June 19, 2011 9:26 pm
Good post, you make some really interesting points.
I think one of the things to bear in mind is that LocalGovCamp is done on a shoe string and no one really gets paid for their input. Some of the things you are asking for would be great additions to the event, but would require resources.

Thanks to Nick and John for your feedback. My observations are just the things that ran through my mind at various points throughout the day. I know it is a major achievement to organise such an event and I know that too much forward planning of the type I've suggested would rapidly turn it from an unconference into an ordinary conference!
It was only my second camp and as I go to more in the future, I'll perhaps be able to contribute some of these ideas myself. I'm looking to find out if these kind of things would be appreciated if I or someone else volunteered to do them or whether they would be considered unhelpful/intrusive/overcomplicated/unnecessary.
I'm a person who likes to contribute as well as take part - these are the kind of things I guess I feel would help and I could contribute.

Hi David,
I echo what Nick and John have said. You make some good points - and a few which are perhaps a touh too idealistic given the low budget and inimal workload (it never feels like one!) aimed for at unconferences; but you're new to the model of working, so that's OK. It's all about learning, and we all have something to learn.
As for tips for newbies, I wrote Tips for LocalGovCamp Newbies shortly before the event. Next time, perhaps we can include a link to it in the mailshot that goes out to attendes in advance.
You shoud find a list of attendees on the EventBrite page, with Twitter names where they've supplied them.
I really like the idea of helping people sign up to Twitter on arrival, or during the day, and that fits with our work on Social Media Surgeries.
I did take a pic of the sessions board and tweeted a link to it, with others retweetng it, but people had to be on Twitter - maybe we could have uploaded it elsewhere.
Many people like the music; and there were plenty of places where you could sit and not hear it; I guess that's a "can't please all the people all of the time" matter.
At least you've put your money where your mouth is; I'm sure Dave and others will be in touch in advance of the next event!
I'm @pigsonthewing if you wish to discuss this further on Twitter.

I found that I enjoy designing patterns and tutorials more than making items and selling them (though I do sell completed pieces.) Part of this is because I also like to teach people how to make their own unique pieces of jewelry, dolls or clothing.
I am a freelance craft artist. I first started crafting when I was 9, knitting a red poncho with white fringe, teaching my friends to knit and crochet, and it only escalated to embroidery, sewing, macrame, beading, weaving, wood carving, doll making, gourds, paper crafting, Artist Trading Cards, painting, drawing, photography, and whatever else I could get my imagination into. I enjoy bright animated art and love to work with inks and acrylics. My favorite theme is The Boneyard, a collection of skeletal figures that are reminiscent of Dia de Los Muertos art.
If you are crafty and love creating unique treasures, you can learn to make them through a tutorial in just the project you're interested in, often unique designs that you will not find anywhere else. This is a benefit to having to purchase an entire craft book just to get that 'one design' that you really liked. I offer tutorials and patterns in jewelry, home decor, Christmas ornaments, and more. You can instantly downoad them after purchase, so there are no shipping charges. You can find my tutorials at my Busy Crow Studio Lulu shop
AND.... for crafting books, supplies, and unique artwork visit the Busy Crow Shopping Mall located on the left sidebar here on this website.

Thanks for visiting my page.
So as most of you know, I am a creative person. I love to do crafts with the kids and get messy and I LOVE color. But I wanted to introduce myself as a professional graphic designer. Hello, my name is Kat, let's talk graphic design.
Please see my portfolio on my website KatLange.com
Hire me for all of your print designs. Contact me @ email@example.com
Check me out on Facebook @Kat Lange Designs and give my page a like.
Also, check me out on Instagram @KatLangeDesigns like me, love me, FOLLOW ME.
Thank you everyone for following along on my journey.
Last year I had a 3 month internship with the Robert And Frances Fullerton Museum of Art at Cal State San Bernardino. It was an awesome experience and I highly encourage anyone to seek out internships. I had the opportunity to work with a creative director who gave me freedom to design various flyers and the direction to fine tune and finalize for print. This particular one was to be sent to local schools, particularly to 6th grade classes encouraging visits to explore the Ancient Egyptian Collection. The museum houses the largest permanent and public display of ancient Egyptian artifacts in Southern California. Pretty cool right?! There are also Asian & African ceramics, contemporary art as well as the various student exhibitions throughout the year. http://raffma.csusb.edu/index.html
Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday and has had plenty of coffee to keep them going.
I am super excited to finally see this bad boy in print. This restaurant has amazing food, home cooked, just like granny made. Good Eats for sure!
The clients wanted a modern & clean Americana feel. They wanted a simple design & clear organization. A menu is hard work but the clients love it & are happy so I am happy. I also have created a catering menu & a door hanger for them (pictures coming soon). There are perks to working with restaurants, the super yummy food at meetings & the down to earth awesome clients.

Thanks for reading…

Fourth Estate Mobile, a team of MBAs and undergraduates from San Diego State University, won the First National Sustainable Journalism Concept-2-Reality Competition held this past week at Kennesaw State University. The Competition was sponsored by Kennesaw's Center for Sustainable Journalism, whose mission is "to ensure that high quality, ethically sound journalism remains a part of our democracy."
In addition to finishing First Overall, Fourth Estate Mobile was also judged to have the Best Start-up Feasibility, Written Summary, Verbal Presentation, and Second Best Long-term Market Potential. For its win Fourth Estate Mobile will receive an award plaque and a cash prize of $1,000.
Fourth Estate Mobile provides a proprietary Content Management System (CMS) platform that allows newspapers to submit content onto an application accessible across multiple smart phones. Through Fourth Estate Mobile's website accessible CMS, newspaper editors can easily upload content onto their application directly from their computers.
Editor's aside: We are working on posting a video or IM interview tomorrow with Jesse Villanueva, who made the winning presentation — and this not a fantasy idea. It is a well developed plan growing out of his experience as advertising director for the Daily Aztec, San Diego State University's student-run newspaper. He and people like him will be the future of reinventing journalism. More tomorrow.
Finishing Second in this first Sustainable Journalism Concept-2-Reality Competition was the Visual Talking™ team under the direction of Mark Grace. The VisualTalking concept aims to use fewer words and more visuals to tell stories. Think storytelling using graphic novel techniques and doing so quickly from your own computer or mobile device. For its second place finish, Visual Talking will receive an Award plaque and a cash prize of $500.
Finishing in a tie for Third Place was the online Credibility & Ethics Seal, a concept presented by Susanna Capelouto , news director at Georgia Public Broadcasting. On-line journalism is in a crisis of credibility. The Credibility & Ethics Seal is a registry with an ethics pledge to be used on blogs and web sites as a "seal of credibility and ethics". It would be self sustaining through a nominal annual registration fee. The Credibility & Ethics Seal will receive an Award plaque in recognition of its achievement
Tying for Third Place was My Green ATL presented by Ken Edelstein, former editor of Atlanta's Creative Loafing. My Green ATL connects Atlanta residents who care about the environment with credible information about the environment and with local businesses that sell or rent green products and services. Its role is to serve as the region's most comprehensive environmental news and event listings site. My Green ATL will be funded with an affinity-based discount network that connects green consumers to the products and services they want. The credibility it acquires in the process of "convening" its green audience will provide a foundation for enterprise journalism which will be funded a la carte through foundation grants and NPR-style fund-drive efforts. Editor's aside: In full disclosure, the Center for Sustainable Journalism is providing Edelstein limited support to help develop his concept. The judges were independent of the Center.
The judges for this first Sustainable Journalism Concept-2-Reality Competition were Dr. Kirby S. Black, Principal, Chamberlin Associates, Dr. F. Russell Denton, MBA, JD, Patent Attorney; Karen Rands, Founder and CEO, The Launch Funding Network; Ray Sams, Creative Director of Programming and Production, The Weather Channel, and Catherine Shen, VP, Strategic Communications, Points of Light Institute. Ray Sams and Catherine Shen's primary role was to assess the Journalistic creativity, innovativeness, and "worthiness" of the various concepts. Dr. Kirby S. Black and Karen Rands primary role was to assess the start-up feasibility and long-term economic viability of the various concepts. Dr. Russell Denton's primary role was to assess the patent, trademark, and other intellectual property protections that the various concepts would be able to obtain in order to enhance their "sustainability" over time.
Dr. Charles Hofer, Regents Professor of Entrepreneurship, Founder of Kennesaw's original Concept-2-Reality Competition, and Co-Founder of the Sustainable Journalism Concept-2-Reality Competition, said: " I was thrilled when the Center for Sustainable Journalism contacted me and asked whether it would make sense to create such a competition to help generate new ideas to enhance the future of America's "Fourth Estate" because of the importance of a vibrant free press to the maintenance of the rights and freedoms we all hold so dear. I was also concerned about whether we would receive enough "high quality" entries to justify such a competition because in our "regular" Concept-2-Reality Competitions, we seldom got more than one entry from a single industry. Our four finalists put all of those concerns to rest. They demonstrated clearly that America's journalists are developing myriad new ideas to enhance the future of American journalism."
Funding for this contest and for the Center for Sustainable Journalism is provided by a generous grant from the Harnisch Foundation.

Create an app is the best idea to earn money. You don't need to be have the great technical skills or be the great business man to build the apps. Even if you have a fantastic idea and you can also create some best app, don"t worry where it is right or wrong your work is to maximize users and thus revenue is a very important aspect in the success of your app..
You can also refer the Mobile Applications to make money
Few persons can join with the company to get the fund to develop their apps and work on growing a user base. You can make the monetization from day one itself your users are willing to pay to solve the problem you've identified
Freemium Apps
Freemium is an exciting business model adopted by apps in recent times that is monetization option for games and apps generating most of the revenue.it is raking in 76 percent of all revenue in the Apple App Store in the US and over 90 percent in the Asian markets
A freemium business model app or game charges free to the user make addicting with limited features, content or virtual goods. Thousand of the Users can access a premium version or additional content and feature through in-app purchase. This route has also been offered for subscribing by the purchasable content in monthly content updates.
The free app or game with an in-app purchase removes the price point as a barrier for people to download an app and gives the developer the opportunity to prove the value of their product.but will have the opportunity to make purchases within the app to enhance the experience.
CSR Racing reached 12 million $ per month due to the sales of cars and improvements during the game.
Clash of clans is another brilliant and addictive game with 5 lacks €. as the daily sale.
One can offer premium or additional content or offer basic features for free that require the user to pay to use complete functionality of the application. angry bird as the example of which offer additional content, updated every month for a subscription fee.
Paid apps
It is suitable for all business model: we put a price on the app or game and the markets, by applying sales commission ,periodically take our part of the download profits. You can add the additional features and set the pay also for that too. it is very simple just buy it and own it. But as the simplest it is also not the best because of so many free options which makes users less likely to buy first.
This business model often supports a free demo version that secures the initial downloads and gives recognition to the product then set to pay to download an app and then pay again to avail more features .
An example of an app with this strategy is the flight tracker app in the top 100 apps, Flight Radar Pro.
Free apps with advertising.

Christopher Roberts | Gallery Owner and Curator
Artist and Gallery Owner, Christopher Roberts, focuses on creating primarily abstract and impressionistic paintings, that read similar to one's own diary. He finds his release through a combination of music and colors, resulting in explosively rich surfaces. His work is born throughout the process of creating, without having any preconceived plan, making him a 'process painter'. He has been painting since the young age of just 6 years old with his grandmother, a well known painter herself, and has since been shown locally and nationally including Portland, Tucson and New York City to name a few. He is the chief curator extraordinaire at the gallery and manages the day to day operations.
Christopher Roberts was born in El Paso, Texas and currently resides and works in Portland, Oregon. From an early age he was fascinated with expressing his creativity in various forms including writing and his true passion, painting. Influenced and inspired to explore this world of visual expression by his grandmother, he started at just 6 years old. Having no official training in the practice he still pursued it wholeheartedly. Their seemed to develop a pattern within these works, expressing a life from within him, played out onto the canvas. Sharing his story and allowing the public to interpret and experience their themselves within the work is his overall objective.
He is currently represented by Basic Space Gallery in Portland, Oregon. His work has also been represented by Agora Gallery located in the art district in Chelsea New York City and was a member of Gallery 114 in Portland, Oregon. He has been a part of several exhibitions within the Portland metropolitan area; including Splendorporium, Mark Wooley Gallery, Gallery 114, Basic Space Gallery and Peoples Art. And he is presently in a couple private collections in Portland, OR and Tucson, AZ.
He is a multifaceted artist, with various styles including surrealism, expressionism, and figurative. There is a transition from each style depending on how he wants the emotion to be depicted. Never being confined to one particular style allows for a constantly evolving experience throughout his life. He uses an acrylic base paint, which allows for easy manipulation of the medium, then applied on canvas or to wood panels. He is working on inspiring others to tap into that raw innate emotion within them, therefore creating complete freedom for self-expression.
Artist Statement
"I don't intend for my work to portray a specific subject, but to strive to bring out those personal challenges, struggles, and triumphs one faces throughout life's journey. While attached to my exterior interpersonal relationships, I had remained detached from my inner feelings, so I needed to find a way to express them. It is imperative for me to share the innate, raw emotion of life's experience with others so that I can help become a benefactor to the changing world.
When I start working I need to first 'tap in' to that feeling and become engulfed within it before I can release it. Music is the portal through which I lose touch with that exterior self, and allow for those inner emotions to take over and become the piece. I use different forms of media to convey those emotions: interpreting them within the different textures, lines, colors or patterns.
My work now is aligned in mostly abstractionism and loose abstract figurative, which are conducive to expressing my inner stories in a way that is not confined to a societal expectation or limitation. I also have done many other styles covering expressionism, pointillism, lyrical abstractionism, and surrealism. Although I may not always be working in the same style, there still is that passionate desire to express myself through creativity."

Wealth Masters International Welcomes New Executive Committee Members Kevin And Melissa Knecht
Houston (February 24, 2012) Wealth Masters International (WMI), a Texas-based financial education and entrepreneurial resource powerhouse, welcomes Kevin and Melissa Knecht of Arizona to an expanded leadership role on the corporate Executive Committee. This invitation-only leadership group includes top achievers from all around the world and ensures that the entire community of Members and Consultants has a representative voice in the direction of Wealth Masters.
Our EC members play an indispensible role on our top management team, says WMI CEO Kip Herriage. True to form, the Knechts tend to deflect some of the recognition, preferring to focus on the extended opportunity this EC role gives them to serve their colleagues in the field. We love taking what weve learned in our WMI journey and paying it forward, say Kevin and Melissa. The bottom line is that were designing our lives to our own specifications instead of submitting to someone elses. Were truly blessed and ready to show anyone how to shed their limitations in life, just as we have.
Kevin and Melissa know firsthand what it takes to make the transition from employee to entrepreneur. Kevin was an advertising sales representative and working as a disc jockey. Melissa had a dual background as a bank teller and in cellular sales. They confide that they were both dissatisfied not only with their nine-to-five incomes, but also with the time away from their children. The direct sales profession was a natural solution that allowed them to increase their financial freedom while being stay-at-home parents.
Honestly, were just recognizing what Kevin and Melissa have been doing all along and making it official, said WMI President Karl Bessey. These are servant-leaders in every way who have been giving of their time and talent for the benefit of everyone in the WMI community. Were proud to welcome them as our newest EC members and look forward to accomplishing great things together in the exciting months ahead.
About Wealth Masters
Incorporated in 2005 and based in Sugar Land, Texas, Wealth Masters International is one of the worlds fastest growing financial education and entrepreneurial resource companies.

Hey, there's no shame in the fact that you want to run the other way, screaming, when your little artist says, "Mommmmmmy! I want to paint. Now!" Seriously, who has time to wipe paint-covered finger prints from their walls, tables, chairs and floors?
Okay, so you're thinking, "But, aren't I supposed to let my child explore all things process-based?" Yep. I'm completely for it. I spent the better part of a decade bringing process art activities to parents and children as a museum-based arts educator. That said, as a mom, I totally understand the, "I don't want that mess in my house" mentality. There were plenty of moms who brought their kids to our museum classes for that exact reason.
Sometimes you really don't mind the messy art projects. But, even if it's okay in your house – when you travel to grandma's or take the kiddos to your in-laws, it might not be. That's where painting with clay comes into play. Your kids can get a fine motor workout, explore different textures, blend colors and create a 'finger painting' without ever actually touching paint. Instead of the typical temperas, you're going to swap in modeling clay!
Your child can try this art activity on its own. Or, you can add another layer to it and create Halloween art. How? Check out the easy (and almost mess-free) process…
Here's What You'll Need:
· Soft modeling clay – I'm not saying you should go into the craft store and unwrap every box of clay. But, I have been known to feel a box or two (or more) of clay. I've also returned clay for being way too hard. It shouldn't feel like a rock. If it does (or won't spread at all) being it back.
· Card stock paper or cardboard (cut the side off of a box)
Here's What to Do:
1. Pull the clay apart into dime-sized pieces. This makes it easier for your child to spread.
2. Finger paint! Your child can press the clay (piece by piece) onto the board. Then, she can use her fingers to spread it out. Add more colors to mix and blend them.
3. Press googley eyes into the clay, making a monster masterpiece for Halloween.
Call it a monster, a ghost or whatever you want – it's artsy Halloween fun!

|Steering gear box fresh out of the 1964 Barracuda.
The steering column rebuild project on my 1964 Plymouth Barracuda was spread out over several years. It started way back in 2011 when I pulled out the steering column to make room for floorboard replacement. At that time, besides the column, I removed the power steering pump and the steering gearbox. You can check that post out at Steering Overhaul – Part 1 Disassembly. At this point, the steering overhaul project is about 75% complete. I still need to work on the power steering pump. But hey, if you have been reading this blog for very long you already know the no project on the Barracuda is ever 100% complete.
Steering Gearbox
The steering gearbox was very loose. Several years ago, I sent the original unit to Feel Firm Inc. for a complete rebuild. They can rebuild to stock specs or 3 steps of added firmness. Although, I can't find the paperwork at this moment, I believe I asked for one step of added firmness. If I find the paperwork, I'll post in the comments. As soon as the unit came back, I loosely bolted it back in the car. I tried to reattach the pitman arm but it required a lot of torque to mate the splines. I had a big wrench but since the car was close to the ground I could not get any leverage. I decide to hold up on the project.
Fast forward a couple of years. I discovered that the spline shaft on the gearbox had 4 keyways that had to line up with the matching keyways on the pitman arm. I was probably just mashing the keys into the splines. So once again I removed the steering gearbox. Next I removed the pitman arm. It was a real pain breaking the pitman arm loose from the centerlink. After trying several tools, I final found that the AMPRO T72074Universal Pitman Arm Puller would fit in the tight space and actually worked.
With all the parts laid out on the garage floor it was easy to line up the keys and keyways. I am not sure why they didn't just use one keyway. Four keyways gives four possible installation positions. It took some experimentation to figure out the right position. In hindsight, I should have scribed an alignment mark on the gearbox and pitman.

|Puller attached to centerlink joint. Not much space to work.
|If you look close, dead center in the picture, you can see the keyway on the gearbox spline.
The gearbox has 4 of these keyways equally spaced around the shaft.
|The rebuilt steering gearbox back in place.
Steering Column Removal
Removal the steering column was a piece of cake. I unbolted the steering coupler from the steering gearbox, removed four bolts inside the car on the firewall, removed the steering wheel bracket at the dash and pulled the column into the car. Done.
Disassembly was fairly easy too. However, the column has a surprising number of parts to keep track of especially around the steering wheel. I took a lot of pictures but not nearly enough. I will let the pictures do the talking.
|Steering Column on the workbench. Notice the original gold paint.
|This is the plate that seals the steering column to the firewall.
|Original steering wheel. Very worn and BIG.
|Steering column wiring harness. To get the harness out of the column,
the wires must be removed from the connector.
|Horn button removed. This is part of the horn mechanism.
|Horn ring. Notice the black Bakelite is broken in several places.
|Horn stuff is out of the way and the steering wheel nut is loose. I used a steering
wheel puller to remove the wheel from the steering shaft.
|With the steering wheel removed you can now see the turn signal mechanism.
|Turn signals. Lot of parts.
Steering Coupler Rebuild
The small box gadget attached to the end of the steering column is the steering coupler. It is the connection point between the column and the steering gearbox. The steering coupler also acts like a shock absorber dampening vibrations from the gearbox. Theoretically, the steering coupler is packed with grease but mine was dry as a bone. The coupler is held to the steering shaft with a pressed in pin. Here we go again with pressed in parts! Check out my post about presses and driveshafts (1964 Barracuda Driveshaft Rebuild).
Turns out, no one makes a rebuild kit for the 1964 steering coupler but a kit is available for 1966 to 1976 couplers. Several people on the internet said you can make that kit work so I ordered up one. The biggest difference I noticed with the rebuild kit was that the seal plate and seal were a different shape than mine. I messed with installing the new parts and the internal parts fit fine. However in the end, I trimmed the new seal to fit into the old seal plate. This seemed to work well. And yes, I broke down and bought another press. The first one, from Harbor Freight, wouldn't cut it so I stepped up to a Dake Model B-10 ManualUtility Hydraulic Bench Press - 10 Ton Capacity. It did the trick. Now, I need more things to press. I wonder if it would work on Brazil nuts? After all the steering coupler parts were installed, I packed it with bearing grease. The final step was the crimp the seal plate back on. It needed to be tight so the grease would not leak out. That was not as easy as you might think. It was an odd shape and the steering shaft interfered with regular clamps. I found these nifty CH Hanson 09500 9-Inch Forked Jaw Self-AdjustingLocking Pliers at amazon that would clamp the seal plate in place perfectly.
|Pretty grungy! No grease on the inside. It's all on the outside.
|Dake 10 Ton Press. Now, where to store the thing?
|Dake at work.
|The steering coupler has just been filled with bearing grease and is ready to be sealed up.
|Found these Hanson Forked Lock Jaw Pliers to reach
around the steering shaft.
|The steering coupler lets the shaft move around some an dampen vibrations.
Note the steering column end seal. The white ring is like a little bearing.
Steering Column Rebuild
The steering column has a bunch of parts that needed to be replaced. I could not find any one source for everything I needed so I had to place several orders. Here's the parts list:
Roseville Moparts - Upper Steering Column Bearing - 2265656
R/T Specialties - Shaft Repair Kit - 1000093, Steering Column Plate Grommet - 2265697, Steering Column Seal - 2266738
Old Car Parts NW - Turn Signal Switch - TS102
Summit Racing - Grant Steering Wheel – GRT-213
The most worn part turned out to be the turn signal switch. I planned to reuse the original switch because the wires were not too bad. However, check out the picture of the horn ring follower. As you turn the steering wheel the little wheel rolls around the horn plate making an electrical contact point. Pushing the horn button completes the circuit. No wonder my horn never worked, the entire little wheel was gone.
The original steering wheel was BIG! With the new Feel Firm gearbox, the number of turns from stop to stop is much fewer than stock. Also the car has power steering so no real need for the BIG wheel. The new wheel is obviously aftermarket but I think it looks good.
The hardest part of the reassembly was remembering the correct order to put things back in. Of course, I had no clue and ended up taking the whole thing apart 3 or 4 times. I sure hope it is in correct now. Oh well, I'll find out on the first test drive. Anyone going with me?
|Steering Column Schematic. Look at all the parts.
Steering shaft bearing. Greased and ready to go. Part on the left is a spacer.
|Bearing and spacer installed.
|Comparison of the old and new turn signal switch.
The old one doesn't look too bad.
|Old horn ring follower. Looks odd.
|Oh! That's what it is supposed to look like. Maybe my horn will actually work now.
|Steering column painted and ready to install.
|Close up of wiring.
|Grant Classic Wood Steering Wheel.
|The Grant wheel is smaller. I think it looks good.
Steering Column Removal
Once the steering column was rebuilt, it slid right back into place. I connected the front bracket to hold it in place while I connected the steering coupler back to the steering gearbox. Everything was aligned so I bolted up the firewall plate and tightened up the front bracket.
The Grant Classic Wood Steering Wheel came with an installation kit that made it a breeze to install.
I still need to install the power steering pump and hoses and fill the system with fluid but that project is for another day.
|Firewall opening where the steering column passes through.
|Everything back in place.
The power steering pump has not been installed so no fluid in the gearbox yet.

Diet diary: The natural alternatives to cholesterol-lowering drugs
Statins are a group of cholesterol-lowering drugs, prescribed to prevent heart disease but increased awareness to their side effects has forced many individuals to look for natural alternatives. The natural statins work as adjuncts to conventional therapy for those with heart disease and those with high cholesterol, even in individuals for whom high cholesterol is familial.
A recent study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating certain food could lower your cholesterol levels just as well as statin drugs. It also reported that these foods are as effective, if not more than the statin drugs.
Cholesterol-lowering food components include dietary fibres, good fats, phytosterols and some vitamins. In this particular study, researchers found that foods such as soy protein, tofu, various other soy products, nuts and cereal fiber, as well as plant sterols, can lower total cholesterol and especially LDL cholesterol, better than statin drugs.
Other less commonly known compounds and nutrients with cholesterol lowering benefits include probiotics like lactobacillus (obtained from fermented food products), guggulipids, red yeast rice, policosanol (found in jagerry and sugar cane), grape seed extract, cinnamon, turmeric, niacin, Pantethine and vitamin C.
Dietary fibre, specially soluble fibre, has particularly been shown to significantly lower cholesterol LDL (bad cholesterol) while levels of good cholesterol ( HDL ) remain unchanged and help prevent heart disease. Soluble fibre can be found in foods such as oats, barley, legumes (peas, beans), fruits (apples, prunes, and berries) and vegetables (carrots, broccoli, yams).
Interestingly, oatmeal is the only whole grain food recognized by the FDA to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, thereby having the licence to claim heart-protective ingredients in its food labels. Psyllium husk has also been known to exhibit cardio-protective role due to its high fibre content and beta-sitosterol (a plant sterol).
Good fat
Accumulating data from observational and clinical trials have reported that omega-3 fats actually reduce risk of heart disease by reducing triglycerides and total cholesterol.
Are plant sterols or stanols similar to cholesterol that act in the intestines to lower cholesterol absorption. They are most commonly found in fruits, vegetables including figs, avocados, nuts, oilseeds, oils such as rice bran, olive oil and whole grains including barley, oats and wholewheat.
Natural remedies
Guuggulipid or Indian Bedellium has been a mainstay of traditional Indian herbal medicine (Ayurveda) approaches in preventing high cholesterol and atherosclerosis.

Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is making old boy Alan Harper a new 'signing' as a talent-spotter to land future British talent.
Hodgson has snapped up Harper from Bolton Wanderers and given him a senior role as a spy on his staff who will be told to find new players for the next window and beyond.
Harper played for Liverpool and Everton and his knowledge of domestic football will be an asset at the Kop where they have relied on recruiting foreign players in recent years.
Wanderers have let Harper go to Anfield, where he will be in a 'senior' position and will report directly to Hodgson as Liverpool try to improve their ability in earmarking talent for the first team.

I got my first taste of foil pack meals or as some call them "Hobo Meals" at our Webelos Campout. I have tried them at home in the firepit we built over Memorial Day and they've been a hit with my husbands, parents, and kids!!
Why do I love them?
1. Customizable. It is so easy for each person to adjust their pack to their own tastes.
2. No hot kitchen. In the Summer with the A/C running I hate to heat up the house with the oven.
3. Sit and cook. Once your pack is done and on the coals you are basically done until time to open them.
4. Clean up is a snap. There are no pots, pans, or skillets to wash up.
Foil Pack Burgers
Heavy Duty Foil (2 pieces per pack)
Nonstick Cooking Spray
Hamburger Patties
Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes (I used diced kind without coating, but have also used the frozen tater rounds (flat tater tots). The husband liked the tater rounds better.)
Canned Condensed Cream Soup ( I used is Cream of Onion. At our campout they had Cream of Mushroom, but I thought onions would be a better flavor.)
Seasonings (Salt, Pepper, Taco Seasoning, etc.)
Veggies (Raw veggies like carrots and cauliflower work well)
Start your charcoals so they are done burning and white when you get the packs ready. I use a charcoal chimney to get mine lit (plus lighter fluid since my charcoal won't light for anything!)
Watch this animation of how they are made.
Get all your foil pieces ready. It is better to have them a little larger for easier wrapping. I would the normal width but about 18" long. Lay down the foil. Spray with your nonstick cooking spray. Put a layer of potatoes down (I used a ½ cup). Put the hamburger patty down.
Add some more potatoes on top. Put on a dollop of condensed soup and seasonings.
Wrap up your foil. If you need to keep track of whose is whose use a Sharpie and write initials on this pack. Rotate the pack and wrap in another sheet of foil. Lay on hot coals. Rotate about halfway through.
Plan about 60 minutes for them to cook. This all depends on if the patties are raw or frozen. Mine were not frozen so they took closer to 40 minutes. I could smell them cooking that helped me tell. The hardest part is not being able to easily check the temperature. To check carefully unwrap one and see how it looks. You can refold it if needed to cook longer.
When done unwrap and serve! My daughter had hers on a bun with cheese. I chopped mine up and ate it with the potatoes and some chips. The hamburger was super tender and didn't taste like a burger. It wasn't quite up to a steak, but it was than a regular burger.

Methyl B12 Drops 1000mcg/ml 50mlB-12 is an essential vitamin. Its benefits are widespread and is often lacking in many peoples diet. Also there are limiting factor within the body that determine just how much B-12 can be effectively utilized. We will get more into that in a moment. The primary benefits of B-12 are: *It is essential for all cell regeneration within the body. So all healing and repair of skin and tissue including muscle require B-12. * Crucial in the regulation of the nervous system and in the health of the myelin sheath which wraps around the nerve and allows for efficient transmission of nerve impulses. *Protects against cancers including breast, colon lung and prostate cancer. *Maintains a healthy digestive system and protects against heart disease by and improving unhealthy cholesterol levels, protecting against stroke, and high blood pressure. *It is needed to convert carbohydrates into glucose in the body, thus leading to energy production and a decrease in fatigue and lethargy in the body as well as essential in the production of melatonin required for a good nights rest. *Promotes healthy liver function and cell regeneration. Many of the benefits of B-12 as far as tissue repair and regeneration, energy production, fatigue reduction, and liver protection and regeneration are obvious but as you can see the benefits go much farther than even those. The problem with most oral B-12 is it is required to survive the stomach and is then activated by limited intrinsic factors in the rest of the digestive system. We are proud to offer this newest form of B-12 which bypasses the digestive system and eliminates the role these intrinsic factors play in its bio-availability. Making it far superior to other oral forms available.
